review: My Football Summer

... was the winner of the Best Documentary of the 43th Golden Horse Award ... last Saturday, AEC aired this award-winning documentary, which is all about a group of native children who have a passion in football ...
... the documentary is about a group of lower secondary students in Hua Lian, Taiwan, who loves football and have passion in it ... all of them are members of the school's football team, and all of them are natives too ... the two-hours documentary talks about how hard they worked for the championship and their lives after school ... the team eventually made their way into the final in their last year in the school ... although they didn't win the championship in the end, their spirits in the match is still something to be proud of ... when they are trailing most of the time throughout the match, they didn't give up, but played even better that they actually drew with their opponent team ... they just lost in the penalty kick ...
... i personally admire their hard work and their spirit on their road to the final ... even though they didn't win, the memory they've gained, the friendship they've made are still somthing to be cherished for the rest of their lives ... even the tears they shedded after their lost in the final will be a great memory ... at least they didn't give up till the end of the match ...
... other than that, i really admire the strong friendship they've made in those years ... even after they went to different high schools and joined different football teams, they're still good friends ... this is something that i've always wanted ... ever-lasting best friends ... i know i have them too, and i'm grateful of it ...
... when i was watching the documentary, the memories i had with my besties in Kwang Hua kept on coming into my mind ... watching them, watching how they supported each other was like looking back at another me when i was still in Kwang Hua ...really missed those times when we were still together, playing and studying together, sharing our lives together ...
... the memories the kids had in those years, they will remember and cherish them for the rest of their lives ... something they'll never forget ... so do i ... it was their football summer, the summer of all the loves and fun ... and i had my summer too, with all the friends i love the most ...
